We have a customer in Vancouver that is going to a Trade Show in New Orleans
and we printed some Magazines to be distributed at that show.
In doing up the customs paperwork I noticed we were missing the IRS # of the consignee an important component if you want your goods to get across the border.
I called up a number in New Orleans and a man answered the phone.
My goodness, he sounded as if he had just woke up, talking so slowly, drawling out the words as he spoke.
Then I realized they all talk like that down south.
He must have wondered who this funnytalkingcanadianwasaswecantalkfastattimes!
He transfered me to a nice lady and we started chatting and the talk turned to our respective cities, weather, and Katrina.
She opened up and said that people can not imagine what happened there and how things are still lingering.
She said that convention business is returning, but they don't want to see what the effects of Katrina were.
Battles are still continuing over who will pay what, she said some have new homes?
She also said that some effects still linger as she suffers from stress & hives.
We talked a little about our Churches in Louisianna and the effect it has had on numerous people (steadfast).
She said it could be worse, but she often wonders when it will get better?
What say you?
Have we forgotten Katrina and those affected by it?
Are we so driven (culture wise) to respond only at the impulse of emotion?
She mentioned that most of relief and help came from ordinary citizens.
What do you think?
BTW Steadfast, I haven't forgotten about you or your Church and pray God's abundent blessings be you and yours both spritual and otherwise.
